Installing Your Cable Modem

Note: If your cable company provides you with an installation
procedure, follow it instead of the procedure described in
this chapter.
This chapter illustrates a typical cable installation in your home
or office and describes how to connect the Zoom Cable
Modem to your computer.
Installation consists of a few simple steps:
1. Requesting cable modem service from your cable
company.
2. Configuring your computer's network settings.
3. Making the connections.
Requesting Cable Modem Service
Before you install the Zoom Cable Modem, contact your cable
company to arrange for cable modem service and to establish a
cable modem account.
A cable company representative may take care of the entire
installation for you, or you may get an installation CD from the
company and complete the procedure yourself. If you are doing it
yourself, you will need to provide the following information to the
cable company before you make the connections:
1. The Cable Modem MAC (Media Access Control) Address,
printed on the label on the underside of the modem case.
2. The Ethernet Adapter MAC Address.
